In Koto (2.600 m ) the trekking routes are dividing: one is following the Annapurna Trek to Manang and further along the Marsyangdi river to Muktinath via the Thorong La pass. We took the northern route along the Naar valley crossing the Teri La pass to Lo Manthang in Mustang. During the next two days we followed the spectacular canyon of the Naar-Phu Khola to the small village of Naar.

The first picture shows the north face of Jong Ri or Pisang Peak (6.091 m) which is climbed quite often during the Annapurna Trek. The pyramid in picture three is a 6.400 m peak of the Damodar range followed by Kang Guru (6.981 m) in the next picture.

Mandalas are shown in the Gompa. The Buddhas in the right picture are a symbol of the different kinds of wisdom, the Bodhisattvas (left) show the corresponding methods. The flaming sword of Manjushri (left) is cutting the knot of ignorance, the four arms of Chenresig (center) show the devolopment of love, compassion, gladness and stoicism and the diamond (Dorje) in the hand of Vajrapani represents the indestructibility of the spirit.
